Smoke Powers

By
Jarrod Garripoli

Smoke is the very first power Delsin obtains in the game and can work very well in his favor, especially during Good Karma playthroughs, as some abilities make it infinitely easier to subdue enemies. While the in-game description says it has surprising mobility, there are better powers for getting around the map. It is a fairly mid to close range power and one you’ll likely be used to the most.

It’s been seven years since the Cole McGrath episodes and the world has clearly changed. Anyone showing signs of being a so-called “bio-terrorist” is immediately handed over to the Department of Unified Protection (DUP) – a government agency created to ensure there is never a repeat of the catastrophic events of Empire City and New Marais. So Delsin, who has never been particularly respectful of authority, finds himself caught in the DUP dragnet, and decides he’s not going to go quietly.
